The Moon Man wishes he could experience life on earth. When a shooting star passes by, he hitches a ride. The subversive story of his rather unsuccessful visit continues to have child appeal. Ungerer's art is appropriately dark and dramatic as the story's adults act on their fear of the unknown, here embodied by the curious, cheerful Moon Man.
